Chris Kaczmarek

Chris Kaczmarek is a New York based artist whose work spans both traditional and experimental sculptural practices through a broad variety of mediums. His sculptural installations are often interactive and designed to guide the viewer towards a deeper contemplation about the environment that the viewer inhabits, and the passive and active role the viewer plays in that interaction. Other works include sound scores for the stage, multi channel videos and hand made electronic instruments. He has received an MFA in Sculpture and an MA in Modern and Contemporary Art History from Purchase College where he is also currently an adjunct instructor.

From sewer-dwelling alligators to underground shantytowns and smuggling tunnels; man-eating rats to illegal warehouse parties; New York City's underground—mythical and actual—pulses just below the City's radar. On Saturday, November 8, 2008, Eyebeam—the upstart of unconventional creativity and boundary-defying art and tech experimentation—presented the latest iteration of its quarterly live performance party: MIXER Underground, which featured a 5000−foot maze and 30 performers.

MIXER
November 8, 2008Nov. 8, 9PM - 2AM540 W. 21st St.
This last MIXER for 2008 was unlike any other … No evening art stroll with a glass of sponsored wine, Production Lab fellow David Jimison (boozBot | Anywhere But Here | Madlib Karaoke) and Paul Amitai (MIXER mastermind) pulled together a crack team of set designers, fashionistas, artists, performers, and of course AMAZING musicians, to create an evening UNDERGROUND.
The Eyebeam warehouse was transformed into an enormous multi-level labyrinth, with tunnels, trap doors, and more.
